  1. So here is the update my original rods were 1. Okuma cold water dipsy rod... and 2 Schimano scimitars.... for those that asked ... I did buy an okuma white diamond 10 foot with roller tip... I like it smooth reeling used it two days last weekend 120 a rod w shipping, my Dremel work on the okuma cold water gave that rod another year maybe will watch it... I ordered two 8’6 white diamonds with roller tips to replace the schimanos .... pricey but oh well Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

  7. So Ive run wire on my dipsy rods for last three seasons. Obviously they get a ton of use. Suddenly this season snapped off three rigs. Inspection finds grooves in 4-5 eyelets on every rod where the largest bend happens in the rod...when I stripped wire off and put new wire on i found damage in many places on the old wire. Trying to pick replacement rods that wont do that have twili tips on them all at this point and Im using a dremel to grind out the grooves. However I would prefer to replace them all. I have ordered an Okuma White Diamond swivel roller top 10 foot rig but they are pricey to try out... What do you guys use? I know several that use blue diamond okuma that are cheaper no roller tip... Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United
  8. I did the same cutting and retie was faster, till i realized if you take the lure off and slap the crap out of the rod and line on the water they come right off but it has to be violent... Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United
  9. This weekend the fleas have hit disaster proportions on Cayuga....on rigger lines mono lines wire dipsy lines in proportions I have not seen before....struggle to even fish... Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United
  10. I don’t know what to think about the electrical field component ... that said my mag 10s have “ion control” my previous riggers didn’t. I’m dubious that much is transferring down a cable 60-150 feet through water but hey I might be ignorant of the facts ... Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  11. All I will say is listen to Reel Doc he is the closest to the best way to fish if you want these .....haven’t had a 4 hour stretch on the lake this year without boating numbers in teens limited out in two hours yesterday Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  12. its not near the water but Pine Creek Campground in Newfield just 15 min away from the lake...pinecreekcampground.com I have a seasonal spot there, they have a pool, fishing pond, rec room and its very clean.....
  13. That really sucks......I love my etecs......oh well....they put six year warranties on them so they will be supporting for quite a while....
  14. I run a pair of evinrude 2 stroke 250 hp etec engines run low enough to not need a kicker, i can do maintenance on my own hundreds less moving parts great on fuel, higher torque..way cheaper to maintain... Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United
  15. Just received notice of a planned lamprey treatment of the Cayuga Ithaca channel all the way to the inlet in the lake slated for August or Sept. The letter warned that during high water years during their spawning time that the traps installed do not function and can see wounding rates of up to 83 percent resulting in significant deaths....They listed the years that this has happened and their previous response.....glad to see it....so far out of 30 fish I have pulled the last couple weeks one had a rey on it....no others had injuries..and that rey ran afoul of the filet knife....and now sleeps with the fishes...
  16. Quite welcome .... Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  17. Today Indepth fishing captain and first mate teamed with other members of the uscg auxiliary Ithaca currently stood down thanks to Covid... and four divers from Like Da Fish five training in Pennsylvania to clear the substantial hazards to navigation from the Ithaca channel and outside the channel entrance.... safe navigation to you all...

  18. I will add to the post...been running your gear from time to time over the last several years professionally, when I cant get other things to hit, the gambler rigs almost always pay off... Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United
  19. Happily back in action on Cayuga this weekend ... fished Saturday and Sunday mornings in our knock the rust off annual first exploration and find the fish trip... went 5 for 6 on Saturday four landlocked and one laker ... mostly surface to 30 down then shifted gears on Sunday and went after lakers and some surface landed 14 lakers lost a board hook up and missed a few hookups maybe 5 or so... most action deep Sunday.... largest were two 32 inches clocking in at 13 pounds ... we can consider the rust knocked off !! PS: there are some really bad dead head logs around treman and the inlet and outer shallows on south end... I am putting a crew together on my boat to clear them if possible this weekend...be careful in that area some are barely visible.... Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
